Entry #1 - Wally the Rescue Hen
Wally is a sweet hen we rescued back in September, out in a grocery store parking lot of all places (can you guess which one by her name?) We created a thread on BYC to track her progress and document her journey, and it's been an amazing few months so far. To be honest, I have no idea how old she is or what breed. I don't even care if she lays an egg at all in her time here. We're just so happy to have her. You see, two weeks exactly before her rescue, my elderly adopted dog passed away. Exactly one week after that, our female duck was lost to a snake attack overnight. Then exactly one week later to the day, Wally was rescued. She came at a much needed time, and I was able to channel my sadness and turn it into concentration on her wellbeing. After a quarantine period and a bit of work, she ended up providing a much needed companion for our male duck, who had been depressed after losing his mate. She's blossomed to become a spoiled, sweet girl. Wattle I do without Wally?

Entry #2 - Chicken Hawk, the smart girl
Chicken Hawk, or "Hawk" for short, is the baby of a Golden Polish rooster and a mixed breed hen we had years ago. Somehow, with decently normal sized parents, she came out to be a bantam sized hen. Her name came from the mohawk she had as a baby! She was hatched by a surrogate hen, though we had to pull her due to the hen's egg eating after her hatching, and she became an orphan essentially. I hand-raised her, with long evenings of cuddles and chatting with her. I took her out for supervised yard time, clucking to her as I turned over things to present her with bugs. To this day, she will follow behind me and watch me shuffle my feet to try and find grasshoppers. I can cluck, and she comes running. She was clicker trained to fly to my arm with a hand signal, and can ring a bell as well. She is also target trained to fly to things I point at and say "up" - which improved how she went into her coop instead of chasing her around. She's getting to be an old gal, but I love her! Here's her "Christmas portrait"
